13-A-Side A County League Semi-Final

Bride Rovers 6-8 Mourneabbey 5-7.

We met Mourneabbey in the junior 13 a side league semi-final on Sunday in what proved to be a very close, hard fought encounter. The first half was very even, with both sides trading scores in a game that was end to end. The scoreline at half time was level 3-3 to 2-6.

We started the second half much better than our opponents, and established a healthy lead through some fine scores from players like Emma Roche, Meg Kelleher amongst others. Our defence was resolute throughout, with newcomer Rachel O’Callaghan & Aoife O’Riordan leading the way. And even though Mourneabbey grabbed a few consolation scores towards the end, we held on to win on a scoreline of 6-8 to 5-7. Up next are St Peters in the league final, which is set to be fixed for the coming weeks.

We had a comfortable win in the U16 league over visitors Inch last Thursday. After our backs withstood some early Inch attacks, our forwards took over and kicked a succession of good points. Goals from Katie Quirke and Grace Culloty were added which left us with a good half-time lead, 2-10 to 0-2. The pace dropped off in the second half but a third goal from Emma Barry decided the issue and we saw out the match which now leaves us in a decent position in the league.
